Barr, Ethel Brussels Methodist Church Re -opened II WEEKLY Fine Sermons last Sabbath, - Beautiful Memorial Window Unveiled, - The Edifice much improved in its Recon- struction, The re -opening Services of the re- 1butilt Metodlst Church, that was so seriously burned on the 1st of March IAA, were held last Sunday. and the occasion was marked by large au- diiences, able sermons, first-class music and generous offerings, Many com- plements were paid the Building Com- mittee for well designed plan and cre- atable ,character of the work and the congregation will have a more coin- fontable church home than in the past history covering about 70 years. Sabbath morning did not present the most favorable weather conditions yeit wiser the pastor, Rev, C, F. Clarke, Ph, B., announced the introductory hymn a large company had assembled, Rev. W. E. Millson; ex -President of the London Conference and one of the General Conference Secretaries of the Social Service Department, was the special preacher of the day and very ably sustained the good name he en- joys for work well done. An inter- esting feature, prior to the sermon, was the re -dedicatory service, the of- ficial members being called to the front to join in it. The subject of the discourse was "The. Church", most appropriate to the occasion, and pra- ctical int its, present and future out- look:A large choir sang the anthem ou Openest Thy Hand", in fine form, and J. L. Kerr rendered the solo "Galilee" following the sermon. • Ethel Mission Band Con- cert Friday, Nov. 2Stb, In Dunbar's Hall, Just drop some silver When you call. Humorous Recitations, --Songs, Dialogues, will be all, Come one 1 Colne all And crowd the place from Wall to wall. Rev, Mr. Millson complimented the congregation on the neat and attract- ive restoration of the edifice with its nu, serous improvements, he afternoon, commencing at 3 o'clock, was devoted to the unveiling of the fine Memorial Window, of which a description and illustration is given On page 4 of this issue, The pastor was in charge and the service was most ilnlpress1we as the attention of the In- terested auditors was called back to the 'heroism and loyalty in the World War,." Program included, an organ pre- Ttide;-Doxoolgy; Lord's Prayer in con- cert; hymn, 'Rock of Ages"; Scripture Lesson; Prayer; male ,chorus, "Under the Flag"; hymn, "God of our Fathers"; Roll' Call of our heroic Dead, by W. I1• Ker"r; address by Rev. Capt. Edwards M. C., Listowel; unveiling of window by W. E. Willis; Dead Manch, by W. D. Hartel; solo, "They are not dead", Miss Hingston; 'hymn "01 God soure help in Ages Past"; Benediction "Capt. Edwards tenderly and most effdatively addressed the congregation on "rhe Open Window" and many an eye was moist as he called to mind various features of the war as he witnessed thein and the bravery of the soldier boys who died ta secure freedom for the world. The service will never be forgotten and the beautiful window, which takes the place of the marble tablet destroyed in the fire, will vividly in the years to come, illustrate and call to mind the faithfulness of the tad - dies who sleep in Flanders' Field. This was the second visit of Capt. Ed,7iards on memorial unveiling in the church there, and the congregation• esteemed his kindness fin coming. Long before the appSnted hour for the evening service the auditorium was packed to the doors. Chairs were added and yet many were 'unable to gain admittance to the "audience room. Rev. Mr. Lewin, rector of St. John's church, assisted the pastor in the open- ing exercises, both Melville 'and St. John's churches, withdrawing their evening services out of com:pltment to the re -opening occasion. Rev. Mr, Millson was most happy and forceful in his discourse. He pointed out the danger of conformity to the world and the great necessity of being transform- ed to mind and will of the, Master. The speaker has a style of sermoniz- ing peculiarly his own but he often hits the target and generally with "inners-" His sermon Sunday even- ing was a close fitter and a warning note was emphasized that found close application to maty, no doubt. Fine music was given by the choir, the anthem§ being, "Make a Joyful Noise' • and "Great King- of Glory Came--" Spe�Ial Buying Opportunity DURING the next to days we are going to give values, which are unbeatable.

Ilt was a red letter day in Brussels Methodism and we are sorry our spae is so limited this week. the re -constructed edifice is pos- sessed of many improvements over the original. For instance the fine B. C. fir ceiling is 4 feet lower than former- ly; the floor has an incline, of 14 Inches; windows are of leaded glass, of most attractive designs and this is carried through the whole auditorium, the emblems adding greatly to the beauty of the &storing and fnish; pews are new, built on the circular pattern and are most comfortable; pulpit is in the North East corner of church with choir to the immediate right of the minister; 3 neatly arranged arches span the front of the church and a comanodious choir room opens from then; building is splendidly lighted with large 1torcelan globes and 2 new furnaces will affrd comfort in Winter's coldest day. The Lecture room also shared in the improvemnts and never filled the bill !better than now or look- ed„just as comfy as at present. The fir' ceiling is finished in the nature. wood and the other woodwork nicely grained. A personal inspeotion will verify. No part of the work was slighted. The brick work and plastering was in charge of Messrs. Brown & Park, well known contractors; the plan was pre- pared and carpenter work, carried through to a most successful and sat- isfactory issue by W. Eizerman, of Mitchell, who has so many edifices as examples of his craft and handi- work; painting and graining was well done by Walter Williamson and Fred McCracken; Geo. Weller installed 2 large combination Sunshine furnaces; the fine windows came from the re- putable McCausland firer, Toronto; and the pews were the output of the Globe Furniture Co., Waterloo; and the altar furniture was placed by A. Wal- ker, Wangham. No part of the work was permitted to go by default and the Building Committee watched the completion of the various departments with a zeal that could not be improv- ed upon if the contract was a matter of personal property. Among other items of loss by the . fire was the Bell Organ that had done good service. The placing of a new instrument was a feature of no small concern to the Committee appointed to make a purchase. The, choice was Union Methodist Church "Tho Old Orilor Ohangoth giving place to New" Special Lantern Service on Sunday Evening Next at Elght•thirty.

Last Sunday under the management of Mrs. (Dr.) Hamil- ton and W. D. Hamel exemplified the power and efficiency of the instrument. Ne'w carpet across the pulpit platform and cork matting covers the aisles, purchased from Fred Hunter. Taking the building throughout, it is about as complete as the average town church and no doubt the congregation weirshipping therein will enjoy its comfort and accommodation afforded by the new order, Following up Sunday services a very successful Banquet was held Tuesday evening, a great crowd enjoyed a royal time that will have to be chronicled in next week's issue on account of crowded columns. Little Chi.nea. The present church was erected in 1576 under the pastorate of the late Rev. C. E. Stafford, A beautifully finished pulpit Bible and Hymn book were presented by R. J, Hoover, in memory of his parents, who were whole souled Methodists. Former Bible and Hymn book, along with the pulpit fell a prey to the flames. A noticeable improvement in the entrance to the gallery was changing from the vestibule to the interior of the audience room. Building Committee consis.ed of Rev. Mr. Clarke, Chairman; Dr. Ham- ilton, Treasurer; W. H. Maunders, Walter Rose, R. J. Hoover, Elston Car- diff and W. H. Kerr, Secretary, who spared neither time nor labor in carry- ing out the work committed to then by the Official Board. No member will be sorry that the work is completed as it made a strenuous period. Hydro wiring was done by Linden- stNith & Co., Kitchener, and works well. Councillor Rose was the cap- able overseer. A statement of receipts and expendi- ture in connection with the rebuilding will be presented in the near future. The large majority of the congre- gation contributed personal subscript- ions to the finely designed Memorial window and a number of farmer mem- bers took occasion to do the generous act also in memory of former years and in a desire to fittingly remember our lads who so valiantly served and sacrificed In behalf of the Empire. The boys well deserved these tokens of appreciation. R. Leatherdale, now of Winnipeg, who is an expert mechanic, presented the fine pulpit to the church that was burned. He asked the privilege of replacing it, which was thankfully granted, and his handiwork will adorn the platform and remind the worship- pers of the days. of Auld Lange Syne when the Leatherdale folk were a much valued family in the church circle. Rev. Chas, F. Clarke, P,Is. B., the present pastor, is completing his 4th year as the Shepherd of the flock. He is a good preacher and faithfully looks after his pastoral duties. Hisas- torate has been marked by the cloud as well as the sunshine but his health is now greatly improved, The choir of the Methodist church performs their onerous duties in first- class style. Miss Carrie Hinlgston is the competent leader and Mrs. (Dr.) Hamilton ably presides as organist, Last Sunday Mr. Hamill, who has served professionaliy as pipe organist for several years at various points, assisted at the services and won the gratitude of choir and congregation.
